Welcome to VectorBase!

VectorBase is a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) providing genomic, phenotypic and population-centric data to the scientific community for invertebrate vectors of human pathogens.

DATA

TOOLS & RESOURCES

The map legend (bottom right) now shows you the counts and colors for the most frequently occurring data categories (the default category is 'species' in Sample View). This makes it a more useful legend, especially when zoomed in to a region of the globe where there are unique species. If the global default colors and gray shades do not adequately distinguish your data, you can now click 'Optimize Colors" and the colors will be assigned to the most frequent data currently on the screen. Zoom into Florida, USA or South Africa to test it out.

Try out our new variation search - search for sequence variants in genes across organisms, locate large scale data sets for studies, view study information, and download data in VCF format. A tutorial is available describing how the new variation search combines the PopBio resource and the genome browser data, and explains how you can quickly locate and view variation data in its genomic and geographical context, as well as download your search results and large scale genomic variation data sets .

Longitudinal studies of vector pathogen assays can now be visualized and downloaded from PopBio Map.
